[BARF ALERT!] Trump calls Hannibal Lecter ‘a wonderful man’ in rant against ‘insane’ migrants
Daily Telegraph ^ | 12 May, 2024 | David Millward

Posted on 05/12/2024 1:16:55 PM PDT by ScaniaBoy

Former president tells 100,000 supporters people from mental institutions are being let into US

Donald Trump praised “the late great Hannibal Lecter” as a “wonderful man” at a rare campaign rally while complaining that the Biden administration was admitting migrants from insane asylums into the US.

During a 90-minute speech in front of an estimated 100,000 supporters in Wildwood, New Jersey – a record for a political rally in the state – the former president baffled his crowd by recalling the 1991 horror films.

“He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner,” he said.

“But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations, the late great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.”

Trump had previously been talking about pressure on the US border, saying other countries were bringing their “people from insane asylums and mental institutions” to the US under Joe Biden.

Tangents are not unusual in Mr Trump’s unscripted campaign speeches which, to the delight of his supporters, veer between political rhetoric, insults and conspiracy theories.

His campaign speech on Saturday night – one of the few he has been able to give while on trial – also included a reference to wind farms damaging whales, a claim that has been largely debunked.

What a pity! Daily Telegraph was once a great newspaper with really good journalism.That was when the Canadian Conrad Black was the publisher. Eventually the US District Court in Chicago put an end to that, and it has been a downhill journey ever since...

If Mr Millward had properly listened to PDJT's speech he would have heard him tell the audience that he could no longer impersonate Biden trying to get off stage, because the fake media presented it as he, Trump, couldn't find his way off-stage. This article is just another one of those "we don't understand irony" pieces.

Also, note the wonderful phrasing "a claim that has been largely debunked". What does that mean? I think you understand. The fact is it isn't. Here is a conclusion from a recent National Academy of Science report:

“Given the state of understanding of the effects of hydrodynamics on zooplankton supply, abundance, and aggregation, as well as uncertainties regarding how turbines will affect the hydrodynamics of the Nantucket Shoals region, it is unclear how wind development will affect right whale prey availability in this region. There are mechanisms that could support an increase, a decrease, or no measurable change in right whale prey availability. Future research supporting observational studies and model development are needed to support accurate predictions.”

So, science is far from settled! But of course we are all "greenies" and then the whale is of no concern any longer - except when declining numbers can be linked to anthropogenic warming of course.

NAS study raises concern over offshore wind harming endangered whales

When Trump calls someone “wonderful”, he’s being cynical. Wonderful in the context of what Trump says has quote marks around it. “Isn’t that guy “wonderful”? Meaning, he’s NOT wonderful.

But this guy Millward, the author of the article, is too dense to understand that.

It was sarcasm, which of course is totally lost on the cretins.

Liberals have absolutely NO understanding of humor, jokes — you know, fun stuff. It’s best to just shun them.

They count on dimwits like too many even on this site to take it as gospel.

One of the first things to go when a person turns leftist is the sense of humor. Soon after, the ability to grasp either sarcasm or irony disappears.

Yeah. Yesterday they were gleefully gloating over Trump talking to “OJ” thinking he was going bonkers and referring to Simpson, when he was talking to football legend Ottis “OJ” Anderson, who was RIGHT THERE ON THE STAGE WITH HIM.

These people are just dangerously stupid, and utterly hopeless.

Actually they are smart, because they realize that most people are stupid, and will buy whatever they say.

Top video start at -2:51 and about two minutes on.

He was discussing the illegal immigration, also from mental institutions. And then he mentioned theSilence of Lambs and HL.

Actually they are smart...

No, I don't agree. They are just as stupid as the come across as. They believe what they are saying, which is both good and bad. Good because they are easy to win over in a one-on-one discussion, bad because they do not come across as liars. Unfortunately, too many people are lazy and never check up on things themselves.

That's why we have to work and publish real facts as often as possible.

Humor to leftists and other terrorists is like sunlight to a vampire. Because humor typically “makes fun” of someone or something....we can’t have that. Someone is being “oppressed” when humor is involved.

What a sad, pathetic existence

Once upon a time, there were humorist leftists, like George Carlin and Bill Hicks.
